Hey man, how do you feel about vocative commas?
It’s a comma splice! The horror! The horror! reddit.com/user/bagelbites_o…

No, spellcheck, I was not trying to type “regard.”

A PhD who doesn’t understand how punctuation works, and probably never heard of a comma splice.

We have been waiting a long time for this DAY to arrive, thank you President Trump for dealing with this!
I would be laughing, if any of them knew how to use a vocative comma.

God, you’re embarrassing me. Here: Wake up, fuckers. It’s Friday and I want my thank-you.

Nice closed captioning. Don’t you mean “buy”?

Swimming is a confusing sport.
Comma splice much? I expected more from you.

The only error I can’t forgive is that comma splice. But I do admit your lack of vocative comma is also quite irksome. Good morning, dear.

I want to be where people in high office know what a comma splice is.

95% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you! 191 Federal Judges (a record), and two Supreme Court Justices, approved. Best Economy & Employment Numbers EVER. Thank you to our great New, Smart and Nimble REPUBLICAN PARTY. Join now, it’s where people want to be!
This looks as if you are asking a national monument to name four players on its guitarist. Assuming that the comma was in error, I’d have to say: Steve Stevens Johnny Marr Prince Dave Navarro

I believe you meant to use “man” as more of an exclamation, rather than a noun. If that’s the case, use a vocative comma. If not, The only thing I have to say is … “That’s what she said.”

This is too much man!
I see the vocative comma and I think there is no way Trump is smart enough to have written this. Then I see the comma splice that follows, and now I’m not sure.

Corrupt politician Adam Schiff’s lies are growing by the day. Keep fighting tough, Republicans, you are dealing with human scum who have taken Due Process and all of the Republican Party’s rights away from us during the most unfair hearings in American History......
This brings a tear to my eye. Look at those vocative commas. Beautiful.

Strange use of a comma, unless you want to encourage people to power through their meds. Try hyphens: power-through-your-day medicine. No free ads, so I won’t call out this offender.

Did messing up that headline destroyed the chance of anyone reading what is probably a good article?
